Gulmohar Slub Linen Aqua Blue Unstitched Suit (T+B+D)

Where is the embroidery placed on this Gulmohar set?

The main embroidery is a neck yoke worked in pink and grey thread, with small sprig butis scattered over the rest of the top fabric. The dupatta has a metallic-look border and tassels. The overall look is light and fresh rather than heavy.

What comes in the package?

You get three unstitched pieces in slub linen: fabric for the top, fabric for the bottom and a dupatta. Each one measures about 2.4 to 2.5 metres in length, so you can have the top and bottom tailored to your own fit and style.

Where can I wear this suit?

It is first and foremost an office suit, smart but not overdressed. It is also easy to wear on summer trips, and works well for a kitty party or a weekend brunch. With dressier jewellery, it can carry you through a daytime festive gathering too.

Any tips for my tailor?

Ask your tailor to centre the neckline on the embroidered yoke before cutting, so the work frames the neck evenly. A round or slightly sweetheart neckline follows a yoke well. Keep the cut simple, like a straight or A-line kurta, so the embroidery stays the focus.

How should I care for an embroidered linen suit?

Dry cleaning is preferred to protect the embroidery. If you wash at home, use gentle hand washing with a mild detergent, wash it separately, and dry it in the shade. Iron on the reverse side of the embroidered areas.
